Not basic things for learning English.
Besides lessons with tutor I use some things for for deeper immersion in English.
I changed interface language on my computer. At my work I had already had english interface.
I reading english book and parallel its translation. Two pages of original text after two pages translation.
I listen podcasts for better understanding normal speed speech.
Also I watch serials with subtitles. Last film that I saw was Breaking Bad. I became a fan this TV show.
Unfortunately I have issues with my vocabulary. It grows very slow.
Just learn by heart not very helps me.
But I hope if I continue this way of studying, it will give me good results.

to Annik:
I chose another way for reading. I read all in English and sometimes check new words in the vocabulary. I need to check translation of some words because I don't understand sense of sentence.

I watch series and movies in English myself, that really helps. And subtitles too :)
I also read books, but never try to get a translation, it's more like I'm trying to think in other language than get the translation. Most of the sentence structures settle in my head as I read.

Dmitry,
I like your idea of listening to podcasts. If you are looking for online practice for vocabulary, try these sites:
http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises_list/alle_words.htm
http://www.eslgold.com/vocabulary.html
They are both good sites. I hope that they can help.
Best,
Alan
